Governor Orval Faubus ordered the National Guard to block them. The students were ultimately admitted. However, they were abused and harassed throughout the year. One girl had acid thrown in her eyes. One of the girls was suspended, and later expelled, for having the audacity to defend herself against the attacks.
Here is footage of the Civil Rights movement, accompanied by Charles Mingus’s “Fables of Faubus.”

@Deglassco that name, Faubus, will forever be associated with the composer and bass player Charles Mingus, for me. Much of Mingus's music was a critique of the racism he had to endure. "Fables of Faubus" was his admonition of Faubus on the album Mingus Ah Um. Mingus, like Armstrong, was (to my mind) a genius.

76 followers · 127 posts · Server mastodon.sdf.org@dancinyogi Thanks for this! Mingus was part of my entry point into the world of #jazz (a longer story I'll recount elsewhere and link back to). His sense of swing (and his long-standing partnership with Dannie Richmond on drums) is incredible. Such groove and taste. #bass #mingus

Goodbye Jeff Beck you were a huge influence on me. Thank you for showing us the way to better music where bass players like Wilbur Bascomb can shine. #JeffBeck #WilburBascomb #Mingus

Charles Mingus passed on this day in 1979 at age 56, in Mexico. He suffered from ALS. One of my bass and musical heroes. Fearless, soulful, and uncompromising. Also, swings like a m-fer.

I love this album, but most of them are amazing.

For me, there's not much better than "Hog Callin' Blues." Rahsaan Roland Kirk!
